See What Our Client's Have to Say

I moved to Austin this past year and purchased a new construction Stone Acorn Home in Northwest Hills. Can't say enough about the attention to design, construction and high quality materials used in the home. I continued to discover new attributes of home over the next several months and was impressed with the attention to detail. For the few minor issues that arose post close, Benjamin and team were attentive and quick to solve the issues. I've built several homes and Stone Acorn Builders really stands out! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a best in class builder.

We bought a home from them in Bellaire after considering several homes in Bellaire and West U. We've bought several homes in our day, but this is the first time that both of us separately were 100% certain which of the houses we saw was our favorite. So far the nicest home we've ever owned. Loaded with features that we could never have thought of ourselves. We absolute love the walk-in pantry, which keeps the public kitchen looking so clean and spacious. We love the details like the sliding farm doors and the beautiful assortment of light fixtures. The back deck is so brilliantly designed and arranged that we can sit outside in the shade comfortably almost any day of the year, with a comfortable cross breeze blowing and shade from the tree behind our back fence. I also should mention a tireless effort to fix anything that has gone wrong even things that couldn't possibly be regarded as their fault. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Sarah and Benjamin were a dream team to work with! What is typically a stressful experience of custom building a home, was truly pleasant and rewarding!

I highly recommend Stone Acorn. We interviewed many builders before we met Sarah and Benjamin and right from day 1 they impressed us with their professionalism and thoroughness. Building your home can be a daunting thought but Benjamin and Sarah made it was so easy for us. There were no surprises. The whole process, from start to finish went smoothly. I found it very helpful to have Sarah come to all the meetings for internal selections. They know the entire process and are very well known and respected in the industry. We are very very happy that we went with them.

We recently built a home with Stone Acorn and we have only positive comments about the team and their work. They are extremely conscientious and professional. Their attention to detail is incredible - no stone goes unturned. They also keep their eye on the budget - we ended up with a house that we love that didn't blow the budget. They are very flexible and worked around our busy schedules. The home building process can be quite stressful but they really work to take the stress out of the process. We've built with other builders in the past and there was no comparison. Even after we've moved in, they have been very helpful in getting those last issues resolved.

We bought our first home 15 years ago from Stone Acorn. When we were ready to build, the obvious choice for us was Sarah and Benjamin. They designed with us and built us our home of outstanding quality that we absolutely love. Exceptional integrity, design and architecture. Our highest most and enthusiastic recommendation!

Stone Acorn is an extremely professional, high quality builder. We hired them to build our house, finishing up in October of 2014. Benjamin and Sarah could not have been better business partners to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to build a new home in the Houston area.

The houses that stone acorn build are not just beautiful for are built for families. Sara and Benjamin love their work and they stand behind their work. They pay attention to design and quality. We love our house.

I was recommended to Stone Acorn by a friend who purchased one of their winning Bellaire Showcase Homes. She highly recommended Sarah and Benjamin. And I was not disappointed.

There will not be enough space to really do justice to the dedication and passion  that Benjamin Lavine and Sarah Lavine-Kass have for their "work." I say "work" because you can sense that this is "work" that they so much enjoy that each time you talk to them it is like your are talking to a friend--they help you figure out what you want, what you need and will make it happen. I talk about Sarah and Benjamin because as a customer you constantly interact with Sarah and Benjamin, not with the offices of Stone Acorn hoping someone knows who you are and whether they'll care to return your call. What really impressed me (us, our family) about them is how easy it is to design and build with them--we did not have the usual "headaches" people talk about when building.

What they have accomplished is to build us a quality, luxurious, elegant southern home--though all of their styles are impressive!--The finishes in our home are impressive, even to other builders that have come see our home! They take care of their quality because they are vigilant of their subcontractors---you as a customer do not have to be "on top" of them to check this or that out--they do that for you. What is very important to mention is that Sarah and Benjamin do not abandon you after you move-in to your home; if you reach out, they will answer and help however they can.

I have so many pictures I could post of our home being a "home." Each room is so special and was designed for each of our needs and we have formed so many memories. Stone Acorn will build you a beautiful house that you will make your home. We continue to make sweet memories in this home and cannot wait for the many more to come. Our kids are growing up in this dream of a house!

One more thing to add: two days afterthe Hurricane Harvey flood, the first person outside of my neighbors I saw was Benjamin Lavine checking in on us, and inspecting the home himself looking for evidence of flood damage, even if we did not flood (which we didn't but it was a precautionary check)--it was impressive to see and so comforting to know that if something had happened, they would have been there for us, too.



I highly, highly recommend Stone Acorn Builders. And upon request through their reference, happy to talk.

We love the house that Stone Acorn built for us. Our old house flooded on Memorial Day 2015 and we decided to demolish it and build a new one on our lot. Stone Acorn came highly recommended for their quality of design and workmanship and they did not disappoint us. We were very pleased with the design process - Stone Acorn has an in-house architect, Jennifer, who is absolutely top-notch. We all worked together to design a home that incorporated the functional aspects we desired, the mid-century modern style we were looking for, and one that we all could take pride in. The builders, Benjamin and Sarah, were with us every step of the way, making sure that our wishes and our budget were on the same page and advising us against pitfalls that could compromise resale. Construction was also very interactive - we were able to watch the house grow according to plan and the builders guided us through the selection of lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, flooring, paint, etc. We felt that we were part of the construction process throughout and we are very pleased with the outcome.
